   A number of TCP enhancements in so diverse fields as congestion
   control, loss recovery or side-band signaling could be improved by
   allowing both ends of a TCP session to interpret the values carried
   in the Timestamp option.  Further enhancements are enabled by
   changing the receiver side processing of timestamps in the presence
   of Selective Acknowledgements.

   This documents updates RFC1323 and specifies a backwards compatible
   way of negotiating for Timestamp capabilities, and lists a number of
   benefits and drawbacks of this approach.
